- It really isn't that difficult ONCE you find the proper instructions
- in the #%$!# manual.
-
- Popups work like this
-
- DEFINE POPUP test FROM 10,10 [TO n,n] [MESSAGE] && optional in []
- DEFINE BAR 1 OF test PROMPT "Bar 1" [SKIP] [MESSAGE]
- DEFINE BAR 2 OF test PROMPT "Bar 2"
- ...
- ON SELECTION POPUP test DO whatever && this is the part that the manual
- .OR. && doesn't mention under DEFINE BAR
- ON SELECTION POPUP test DEACTIVATE POPUP && DEFINE POPUP or ACTIVATE POPUP
- && you will find the info under
- && ON SELECTION POPUP pg 2-175
-
- Later on in the program you add
-
- ACTIVATE POPUP test
